Q. The seasonal reversal of winds is the typical characteristic of?
(a) Equatorial climate
(b) Mediterranean climate
(c) Monsoon climate
(d) All of the above
Answer: (c)
Monsoons are basically seasonal winds that reverse their direction according to the change in season. They are hence, periodic winds.
The monsoons travel from the sea to the land in summers and from land to the sea during winters, hence, they are a double system of seasonal winds.
India gets southwest monsoon winds in the summers and northeast monsoons during the winters. The former arise because of the formation of intense low-pressure system over the Tibetan Plateau.
The latter arise due to the high pressure cells that are formed over the Siberian and Tibetan plateaus.
